Call them 20minutes prior check-in as otherwhise nobody will be at the reception - e-mailing your arrival time will not do as we experienced. Rooms are tiny but the location is really good and the staff - if they are there - was helpful.

Hello Christine. We do inform our guests of this. An arrival time can change and actually we quite often eperience that guests arrive much later than planned, in some cases guests don't even show up. As we are a very small hotel, we canot afford 24/7 staff, but we still want to give our guests a personal greeting upon arrival which is why we have this system. We are sorry you experienced this to be a bad feature, but, as we said, it is al explained in the booking confirmation.

Really nice hostel and very friendly staff! (incl. tee & coffee in the room)! The location is fantastic too. We stayed in a double room in the attic of a 3-4 (?)story building - so you do have some stairs to climb but it's defenitely worth it;)! We would stay there anytime again.

Really nice, centrally located & clean hostel. Staff was friendly & very helpful & even the 14 bed room was nice & clean. Only improvement would be to put lights on every bed.
If we come back to Barcelona we woul'd stay there defenitely again!
PS: You should keep in mind that the hostel closes from 4am to 7am....
